A school teacher celebrating a school shooting.

Let that sink in.

“We have to be careful not to project our feelings, values, and beliefs onto students”

What a radical idea!!

[1Old Pro]

A school teacher celebrating a school shooting. Let that sink in.

And we are doing virtually nothing to reform public education, union control and leftist teachers....let that sink in.

[Blennos]

...after she made controversial comments...

I would say these comments were a little more than "controversial." How about hateful, cruel and repugnant.

I have to wonder if Gods plan was to actually take Charlie in order to expose dems for what they truly are. Because it’s working.

“””””We have to be careful not to project our feelings, values, and beliefs onto students.......””””

by saying something stupid about Charlie Kirk.

However, you teachers can continue to indoctrinate the students with Marxist beliefs, queer theory, and other evils.

So says the Superintendent of the Midland Public Schools.

[Sarah Barracuda]

These commies are not upset with the shooter, they are upset that he was not successful in killing his intended target which were ICE agents

[Sarah Barracuda]

oops meant that for the other thread my mistake

"We have to be careful not to project our feelings, values, and beliefs onto students who don't have the opportunity to get up and walk out if that is not what they believe in. So, we have the opportunity to teach students how to think. It's not own place to teach them what to think," said Howard.

We need to post a version of this prominently in every teacher's lounge in America so they will never forget it. Maybe make them recite it everyday.

The superintendent also confirmed that other MISD employees are currently under investigation for online comments related to Kirk’s death.

The gift that keeps on giving...

[Henry Hnyellar]

LOL. Texas hired these idiots.

[kiryandil]

Democrats are all Tyler, so it’s OK.

[ladyjane]

... who don't have the opportunity to get up and walk out if that is not what they believe in."

How bizarre. The correct response when listening to someone you disagree with is to get up and walk out?

And these people are educators.

[packrat35]

This point needs to be made more often.

[goodnesswins]

Teachers these days are WAY out of the education lane.

Texas passed school choice. That’s the #1 thing any state can do. Give parents a choice of where to spend their voucher so they can get their children out of the public schools.
